I'm going back to university in hertfordshire to start an undergraduate degree and I want to buy a bike to take with me as hertfordshire has a campus style university and the buildings I'll be studying in are all relatively close to the halls.
But I'm not sure what sort of bike I should be thinking about. I'm a mature student so money isn't a major issue although I don't really want to spend more than £300. I'm a large chap (I play prop for my local rugby team) 5 feet 10 and a bit inches tall.
Although I have looked at your typical mountain bikes with road tires, road bikes etc, I've found these a bit intimidating (after all I only want to use it to get from halls/accommodation to the uni buildings and to the shops), I mean I'm not looking to enter the tour de france here.
I like the idea of some folding bikes that I've seen on the internet, but am a bit unsure about them.
Any help/advice would be great.
